This whole thread did remind me of one of my all-time favorite
performers: Mose Allison.
He always falls into the cracks between jazz and blues.
Blues stations won't play him even though he's
written some of the classics.
What reminded me of Mose for this thread was his
relatively recent release called "Middle Class White Boy."
Notes: on listening to Punk. I got this from the writer of a
a punk zine who happens to live near here and I'm elaborating
a bit. Punk is not made to be listened to on $300 tube
amps and such. My friend Norb who had and has a punk band
said in one of his zines that (and this is from the early 80's)
that he had a kids 45 rpm record player-- the kind with a
big spindle/changer in the middle-- to play the new
releases that were sent to him for review. He figured that
was the only way to get the right sound and feel of some kid
who is 13 listening to thrash. He knew from playing it on
that phonograph from Penney's if it was raw enough.
